Called To Another World By An Evil Goddess
Chapter 441: The Army of the Kingdom
I jumped from tree to tree as a flying knife shot towards me, I caught it with my hand before it hit my eye.
"The Assassin Technique."
I landed my feet and from behind the tree about ten people surrounded me in all black clothes with cloth coverings on their faces. I pulled out one of my swords as they took turns attacking me with their techniques.
From the whole movement, I felt like I was fighting ninjas, they used throwing knives and direct attacks that showed they were trained to kill.
But only to that extent until they've been subverted by me, I think there's still one more.
Another jumped on top of me and I strangled his neck until he thrashed.
"To-please don't kill me."
"You're a woman."
I tore off his clothes and the two bulges were clearly visible now. She was a woman in her early 20s with metallic gray hair.
"Basic jerk, you checked my identity in a trashy way."
"Sorry for that I'm just curious, because last night I had a weird thing."
"I don't want to know what it is."
They were all seated together including the woman who had just spoken.
I sat down on the rock in front of them leisurely.
"So why are you following us, are you the hero's subordinates."
"Fool, we are the knights who guard this kingdom."
"Knight?"
"We swore to give our allegiance to the princess, when she left the palace we always found out her whereabouts and unexpectedly we found her here."
"Are you really knights, you even tried to hide from him and your techniques are more suitable for assassins to use."
"You see how else, we are also being chased by that hero as a royal traitor, by learning this technique we can better survive."
"In other words your existence has put him in danger."
"What do you mean?"
"I felt another existence near them."
"Impossible."
They tried to keep an eye on it but it turned around now.
All the people dressed in black knelt towards Varlia.
"Not you, Veronica, either."
"Sorry we came late princess.When you left the palace we also decided to go and look for you."
"Then what about my father?"
"He has died."
The words made Varlia bow her head, she seemed to clench her hands yet there were no tears on her face as if she had already sensed it was going to happen.
"My father fell ill when the hero arrived, I already knew he was the one who did it."
"Mr princess."
"It's also my father's fault for opposing goddesses and summoning heroes through ritual, I'll return everything with my own hands."
"Let us help, please order you?"
"I want to go to the five attack points of the demon lord army, can you go to the secret place until we are done, by then we will attack the capital."
"If that's your order we received it but I'm a little anxious if you're with this guy, he just harassed me."
"He's a guy I think it's hard to hold back."
A woman named Veronica clutched my collar.
"What have you done to the princess."
"I didn't do anything."
"Since she's dealing with the hero the princess already said she wouldn't be interested in any man she'd even just marry me later."
"I'm sorry?"
Neither me nor the men behind him showed troubled faces.
"I'll cut off your precious assets."
"Stop it, you sableng woman."
"Come here."
I'm being chased by a crazy woman.
